Don't Get Excited

this is not a post giving any "real" update on the pregnancy. i will say that i went and got a fetal MRI today. it was really hard. first i had no idea where i was going or where i could park so i left early and ended up getting there and hour early and finding that they had a special parking lot for MRI patients. I would rather be early then late so that didn't bother me too much. i had to wait a while because one of the machines was being serviced. everyone was really nice though. they told me i would be going into the machine feet first since it was fetal so i thought it wouldn't be to bad. granted i could still see out the top but i had to go in way to deep. i thought my nose was going to touch the top it was so tight. my procedure lasted an hour. i wish they had a clock mounted in there since you can't wear a watch. i couldn't even do my deep breathing because it made me move too much. it is also super loud so i couldn't doze off because every time i did it would bang and make me jump. in the end they told me to breath shallow and i thought "i can barely breath as it is" i was afraid i would have to do that part again but luckily it was ok.overall i hope i never have to get another one of those again ever.

When I have to do things like that (awful) I "read" books in my head.I did wonder though...how do they keep the baby still enough to get a good MRI reading? Doesn't she hate it when you lay on your back?

Know how you feel. Had to get an MRI because I had a cyst in my uterus, plus I was already claustrophobic. It seemed to last FOREVER!!! And they're like, "Don't move." Hope NC is treating you well. Eat some Bojangles for me!
